Jesus! 5/4/15

Pray for Napal, and peace in Baltimore, and that the Prince of Peace would reign in the United States and in the world.

Day 124 - Reading the New Testament in one year.

Luke 22:47-71
Jesus Arrested
47 While he was still speaking a crowd came up, and the man who was called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He approached Jesus to kiss him, 48 but Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49 When Jesus’ followers saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?” 50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.

51 But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.

52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard, and the elders, who had come for him, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come with swords and clubs? 53 Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour—when darkness reigns.”

Peter Disowns Jesus
54 Then seizing him, they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed at a distance. 55 And when some there had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them. 56 A servant girl saw him seated there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said, “This man was with him.”

57 But he denied it. “Woman, I don’t know him,” he said.

58 A little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.”

“Man, I am not!” Peter replied.

59 About an hour later another asserted, “Certainly this fellow was with him, for he is a Galilean.”

60 Peter replied, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed. 61 The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times.” 62 And he went outside and wept bitterly.

The Guards Mock Jesus
63 The men who were guarding Jesus began mocking and beating him. 64 They blindfolded him and demanded, “Prophesy! Who hit you?” 65 And they said many other insulting things to him.

Jesus Before Pilate and Herod
66 At daybreak the council of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and the teachers of the law, met together, and Jesus was led before them. 67 “If you are the Messiah,” they said, “tell us.”

Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe me, 68 and if I asked you, you would not answer. 69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God.”

70 They all asked, “Are you then the Son of God?”

He replied, “You say that I am.”


71 Then they said, “Why do we need any more testimony? We have heard it from his own lips.”

May 4th Prove how rich Christ is 

“To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the nations the unsearchable riches of Christ.” EPHESIANS 3:8
Paul begins here to explain some of the details of the church, the mystery of Christ — how this unique one Body is actually realized on the earth. It is realized by all the members together enjoying the unsearchable riches of Christ. It is realized by discov- ering in your daily life the unique answer for every situation that exists. This includes what exists in you inwardly — your inward problems and turmoils, your inward state. It also includes what you face outwardly — the things happening in your environments that affect you. The unique answer is that all your environments are to prove how rich Christ can be in you and to you. Instead of living in your moods and in your anxiety, you make a transfer. This transfer happens by calling that precious name, Jesus. When you call His name, you put yourself under a transmission of all the riches connected to your spirit. You activate your spirit and God begins to move in you. There is a flow. John 7:38 describes this flow: “Out of your innermost being shall flow rivers of living water” (NASV). This means we enjoy the unsearchable riches of Christ again and again in whatever we pass through.Paul says that he is telling all the nations about these unsearchable riches of Christ. This is how the church happens. This is how the Body takes place on the earth. You do not organize it. You do not name it. You do not set up shop. You do not bring in entertainment.You do not set up programs—nothing like that.That is all a substitute for Christ, and a facade. Instead, you just find people — ordinary people, redeemed people — and gather them together and let the unsearchable riches of Christ flow out. This is the church.
